Monday 3/3: On Monday I plan to identify the new specimen that were discovered in the lab Wednesday and Thursday. 

Tuesday 3/4: I plan to continue identifying any plants still unknown, and to begin creating labels. I will research the information for the labels including the two types of characteristics and photographs. I will do a Log Entry this day. 

Wednesday 3/5: I will finish creating labels for the new identified plants by revising the information and the format. 

Thursday 3/6: I plan to print labels and go to the Media Center to laminate them. I can attach them to the Riker boxes and finalize the specimen. I will do a Log Entry this day. Originally on the calendar I had planned to begin my press release. I am slightly ahead of the game because I have started my intro, but I will put it on hold until Friday.

Friday 3/7: I plan to continue writing my Press Release on Friday by finishing my Introduction and beginning the portion about Project Description and Mentor Involvement.

Yesterday we created and printed the labels for Beach Plum. There are mysterious plants press in Riker box that the team hasn't let been able to identify. We have been able to rule our Russian Thistle because it does not grow on Sandy Hook and we identified one as a second Sea Blite. As soon as we can get past this confusion, I can create more labels.
Today, I plan to set up the presentation equipment for the Park Service which will take place Tuesday.

Today we went through the Herbarium things in the systems lab. Danny has cataloged the completed Riker boxes. The plant pressing team and I are working to identify and label the remaining specimen that have been pressed and mounted. Unfortunately, the specimen that are currently sitting in the plant press are too old and dried out to mount and label. We plan to make up for these specimens in our collection days in the spring.
